public interface IBISort
extends IBIMemberSetExpression, IBITupleSetExpression

An expression in the Sort category, controls the sort order of members or tuples in a set. In contrast to the expressions of type member selection, this expression does not select members but just alters the order of members within a given set.

There are several varieties of this operation, which can be controlled by the following attributes:

Method Detail

getSortDirection

public IBISortDirectionType getSortDirection()
                                      throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Can be one of the following:


setSortDirection

public void setSortDirection(IBISortDirectionType newValue)
                      throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Can be one of the following:


isBreakingHierarchy

public boolean isBreakingHierarchy()
                            throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Controls whether the memberset will be reordered to match the natural ordering of members within their dimension/hierarchy. If false, the order of members in the memberset are rearranged to match the order of members in the dimension's hierarchy.


setBreakingHierarchy

public void setBreakingHierarchy(boolean newValue)
                          throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

Controls whether the memberset will be reordered to match the natural ordering of members within their dimension/hierarchy. If false, the order of members in the memberset are rearranged to match the order of members in the dimension's hierarchy.


getExpression

public IBIInputReference getExpression()
                                throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

An optional InputReference that yields an attribute value or numeric value which serves as a sort criteria.


setExpression

public void setExpression(IBIInputReference newValue)
                   throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

An optional InputReference that yields an attribute value or numeric value which serves as a sort criteria.
